Title: Nice wing damage on the 38G

Kinda like the look of the not so clean break as well as the bent up props after a typical Nomad landing :)

Typical Nomad landing. That's an apt description. Or, as I said in the other thread, about average, maybe better than most. Looks like Silat's been belting out those show tunes on final again.

It's been that way since we got the Ki-84. The Ki has similar damage to lost wings. I have yet to lose a wing in the B24 (simply don't fly it much).

they need to model the radio wires to account for tail fin damage though by the looks of it.

if the tail was cut off... wouldnt the radio wire be attached still? and you would be hitting your tail ont he way down and following it?

The radio wire would be 12 gauge wire at the most. So it would snap fairly easily if a large enough junk of the tail was ripped off.

Now, maybe a few inches of the rudder where the wire connects to? That may not cause the wire to snap.

EDIT: Oh, that quote of Fubar is off...you need to add some '1' and 'one' inside all of those exlimation points.

And here I always thought that those radio antennas were made out of wire - not straight steel tubing......
